I used to have long hair, but I got sick of it after a while. Mostly because people mistook me for a girl. The last straw was when I help open a door for some random old lady and she told my dad, "Oh, you have such a polite daughter."

the whole thing is ridiculous to be honest. gender is not a "mental construct". this is turning into the new "religion". you can't just believe whatever the fuck you want, alright? at least you can't when it matters. you can believe you are pizza all you want, that's fuckin wonderful. you can even tell it to people. but your gender is not pizza. nor is it whatever other bullshit you want to say.

sometimes you can be simply wrong, and this is one of those cases. beliefs don't mean shit when there are facts right next to them.
